It was my first time and I wasn't sure what to expect. And of all days to venture out, Christmas day! My son is a bit of a carnivore, so I thought he might enjoy this. To start, the salad bar was clean, fresh and delicious, with many choices. We sat down the meat parade began. It was endless cuts of juicy, tender, beef, chicken and pork carvings. Service was excellent, even on Christmas, and the place was packed. I highly recommend, and advise to come with a healthy appetite!

The BEST part of our evening was Logan taking care of us! Like always we loved the meatball appetizer & bolognese to share. I loved my grilled branzino, my son loved the chicken parm & my daughter loved her short ribs. Only downside was the scallops were a little fishy. Overall a great experience!
